Frequently Asked Questions

What is periodontal (gum) disease?

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place, caused by plaque bacteria. Early-stage gingivitis is reversible; advanced periodontitis can damage bone and lead to tooth loss, so early treatment matters.

Do you have a periodontist in Vaughan?

Dr. Mehdi Adibrad is an Ontario-licensed general dentist who is internationally trained in periodontics and implant dentistry, and provides periodontal treatment at our Vaughan clinic. Complex cases can be co-managed or referred when appropriate.

Is gum disease treatment covered by insurance or the CDCP?

Many periodontal treatments are covered in part by private insurance and the Canadian Dental Care Plan, depending on your eligibility. We'll review your coverage before treatment. See our CDCP page or call (437) 900-2200.

Can gum disease be reversed?

Early gingivitis can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced disease can be controlled and stabilized with treatment, but it requires ongoing maintenance.
